IND vs SA: In the Raipur ODI match, Team India batted first after losing the toss and scored 358 runs in 50 overs. Even after that, the team had to face defeat by 4 wickets in the last over against South Africa. Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan has attributed this shameful defeat to the slow innings of this star Indian player. Irfan Pathan believed that Team India can easily make an even bigger score on this wicket.

Irfan Pathan held this player responsible for the defeat

After the defeat in Raipur ODI match, questions are being raised on some players of Team India. Former Indian player Irfan Pathan has also raised questions on the innings of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

Speaking about this defeat on his channel, Pathan said, ‘There was a problem for me. Ravindra Jadeja’s innings, in which he scored 24 unbeaten runs in 27 balls. This innings seemed very slow. During the commentary we were saying that this could cause loss to India, and ultimately this became the difference. If you are in such a strong position, have a score above 300, and everyone is scoring at a rate of more than one run per ball, while your strike rate is 88, then it clearly means that the innings was lacking pace. Sometimes slow innings happen, and that is fine, but Jadeja’s intent was disappointing.

Pathan raised questions on Ravindra Jadeja’s innings

Ravindra Jadeja, who came to bat in the last overs, added only 24 unbeaten runs in 27 balls. Questioning this innings, Irfan Pathan said, ‘The intention could have been better and I am not looking back at this. We had said the same during the commentary also. It seemed that the ball would get wet, which always causes problems for the fielding team. South Africa’s plan was to start cautiously, but Jadeja’s inability to perform well with the bat was disappointing for India.
